Unit II: “There’s no art/ To find the mind’s construction in the face”

Essential Question
//How do authors use craft and structure to develop characters and ideas?//

In this unit students read William Shakespeare’s Macbeth in its entirety, analyzing how Shakespeare’s structural choices and use of language contribute to the development of characters and central ideas (e.g., imbalance and disorder, contemplating mortality, fate versus agency, and appearance versus reality). Students also consider representations of Macbeth in other media, first in paintings by Joseph Anton Koch and Henry Fuseli and then in film, via Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood and the Royal Shakespeare Company 2010 production of Macbeth directed by Rupert Goold.

Common Core Standards
**RL.9-10.3** Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme. **RL.9-10.7** Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic mediums, including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment (e.g., Auden’s “Musée des Beaux Arts” and Breughel’s Landscape with the Fall of Icarus). **RL.9-10.5** Analyze how an author’s choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise. **RL.9-10.2** Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text. **L.9-10.4.a** Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grades 9–10 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies. a. Use context (e.g., the overall meaning of a sentence, paragraph, or text; a word’s position or function in a sentence) as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase. **L.9-10.1** Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 9–10 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively. **L.9-10.1.** Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Fishbowl protocol:Activity 5: Fishbowl Discussion <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The fishbowl discussion is designed to mimic real-life interactions, where people move in and out of conversations as contributors or as recipients of information. The activity promotes active listening for students and allows them to join and contribute as they feel comfortable. The purpose of the fishbowl discussion is to facilitate student discussion around the two “Mr. Julius Caesar” competitions in a structured manner. Arrange the students into two mixed groups: an inner Group (A) and an outer Group (B). <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Explain that as Group A discusses questions posed by the teacher, Group B observes and listens to Group A’s discussion. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">When a member of Group B wants to join Group A’s discussion, students should tap a Group A classmate and they trade places. Explain that all students should be in Groups A and B at some point during the discussion. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Fishbowl protocol in a 10th grade ELA class:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Students listen.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Arrange the desks in two concentric circles. Members of the inner circle discuss questions posed by the teacher. Members of the outer circle listen, observe, and decide when they would like to swap places in order to contribute to the discussion taking place.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Teachers may wish to set up parameters for this task (e.g., time limits, number of student swaps, number of student swaps per discussion question) so that the flow of student discussion is not disrupted in a way that curbs the quality of the conversation.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Depending on class size, there may be more than one fishbowl at a time. In this situation, the teacher may want to solicit note takers to keep track of the ideas being expressed. Note takers can share after the fishbowl discussion.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;"> The teacher will divide the class into groups of four or five students, with each group getting a poem and/or piece of artwork, an oversized sheet of paper, and markers. Within the groups, the students will analyze the poem/artwork that was assigned to them and discuss their thoughts and feelings relating to the work. The group will then use the oversized sheet of paper and markers in order to create a visual presentation of their discussion. At the end of the group activity, one student will volunteer to be the presenter while the other members of the group will watch the presentations of the other groups. The students watching the presentations will have a short period of time to read the poem assigned to the other group or view the piece of artwork. The presenters will then discuss what their group thought and explain the work that was completed.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;"> The teacher will divide the class into groups of four or five students. Each group will receive a poem along with a worksheet presenting four to five questions (enough for each student in the group to always have a question to answer). The students will read the poem, then answer the first question on their worksheet. After a predetermined time interval, the students will switch worksheets and then answer the next question. Once all the questions on the worksheet have been answered, the students will then have a group conversation based on their thoughts and the answers of their classmates.
